Worried About Tesla's Gigafactory? You Should Be

According to some analysts, President-elect Donald Trump is a "god-sent gift" to Tesla Motors IncTSLA 0.12%, as the company's commitment to building factories and employing thousands of Americans is in line with Trump's thinking.

Tesla's CEO Elon Musk is spending billions of dollars to create high-tech factories, while other technology executives are spending billions of dollars on building new headquarters or buying back their own stock.

Concerns Abound

According to a Bloomberg report, analysts at both Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are concerned that Tesla's factory does little to improve visibility over the company's short and long-term plans.

Goldman Sachs' analyst David Tamberrino toured Tesla's new Gigafactory, which is now partially operating, and commented in a research report that the visit was "helpful" in providing a vision for the manufacturing process. However, the analyst added there was a "lack of quantitative updates for 2017 and the ramp expectations.''

Jonas also expressed concerns surrounding a lack of details on how and when Tesla's Model 3 car will show tangible benefits.

Finally, Pacific Crest's Brad Erickson said his visit to the factory left "much to the imagination" and investors are likely disappointed over a lack of details on how the factory will reduce costs moving forward.
